Hi Archana,
Grilled appalam (Sutta appalam), fried appalam or fried vathal/vadam go well with this. Any mild Kootu is also a good combination for this Kuzhambu.

Hi,
How to increase the quantity of puzhi kulambu without affecting the taste. Whenever I prepare more – say for about 10-15 persons it always turns out to be very sour. I need the correct measurement of tamarind, chilly powder.
Hi Jayanthi,
Normally for 5 to 6 persons, you can use a lemon size tamarind. Soak in water and take out two to three cups of tamarind water. One heaped tablespoon of sambar podi or vatha kuzhambu podi is required. Double the quantity for 10 to 15 people. Also when you extract tamarind juice, add required water. Sometimes depends upon the quality (sourness) of tamarind we may get more sour juice. Then you have to decrease the tamarind little.
Oh its very delicious. Nice kozhambu
Thank you Saradha.
Very nice….was v help full
